Angular: Conditional element in DOM?

Question

In AngularJS,

how would I make a HTML exist only if a scope variable is true?

I know there is the ng-show directive but this will not work for me as it will only make it invisible with display: none, but what I need is actually that the element only exists in the DOM when something evaluates.

Something like this would work for me: <div ng-exists="myvar==myothervar"></div>

You can use Angular's ng-if directive (see the docs):

<div ng-if="myvar==myothervar"></div>
